by Gavin Seim. My friend Barry Howel and I got looking at videos about Ansel last night and Barry found this gem of Ansel at work from 1957. It has a bit of that newsreel feel of the 1950’s it’s a rare opportunity to see into Ansel’s gearbag (more like gear warehouse) and see him at work, even though the quality is a bit faded.
I’ll add part1 and part2 below. Not so much a workshop video as a piece of history that makes me think about slowing down and making art instead of pics. My favorite quote.
“Photography to Ansel Adams is a profession as well as an art. And his standards are as high as those of and architect or a engineer”.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoyed this and it made me think how much of an art form photography is really is. It reminds me that I need to often slow down and make art.
Thanks for posting the clips. Ansel is the father of art photography. Great messages.
